Instant Response™ Technology

Instant Response™ technology provides surgeons with improved performance at lower power settings, minimizing the risk of tissue damage and neuromuscular stimulation, and decreasing the need to "turn up the generator."

A Smoother Cut Through All Tissue Types

Added Safety and Reliability Minimizes Electrosurgical Risks

Capacitive coupling is reduced by 30-50% when using Instant Response™ technology. This reduction is achieved by limiting the RMS voltage and the high frequency harmonics. Lower voltage means less neuromuscular stimulation and more precise delivery of energy to reduce collateral damage.

What is Instant Response™ Technology?

Instant Response™ technology features an advanced feedback system that recognizes changes in tissue 200 times per second, and adjusts voltage and current accordingly to maintain appropriate power. This unique capability differentiates Instant Response™ generators from any other, as shown by their high power efficiency rating (PER). That's smart™ generator technology.

PER indicates the ability of a generator to accurately deliver the selected power into a wide range of tissue types. With a PER of 98, the Force FX™ generator provides a consistent surgical effect and has a higher PER than any other electrosurgical generator.

Instant Response™ Technology provides consistent power through different tissue types.

The Force FX™ generator provides surgeons with the advantage of accurately delivering the selected power setting, even through resistant tissue.

When a conventional generator encounters tissue changes, both power delivery and cutting efficiency are reduced. This means that higher power settings are required in order to cut through all types of tissue. With higher power settings, more energy is delivered, and tissue damage increases.

Features

Instant Response™ technology ensures that the power delivered remains virtually constant, regardless of the tissue type

Improved performance at lower power settings minimizes the risk of tissue damage and neuromuscular stimulation

Three internal microcontrollers reduce system reaction time and increase the system's processing speed

Spray coagulation voltage of no more than 9000 volts peak-to-peak output for broad, but superficial coagulation with limited capacitive coupling

A Power Efficiency Rating (PER) of approximately 98 for accurate and consistent cut performance

Three cut modes, all controlled by Instant Response™ technology, offer surgeons a variety of choices:

Low Cut for delicate tissue or laparoscopic cases

Pure Cut for a clean, precise cut

Blend for cutting with hemostasis

Four coag modes:

Desiccate for low voltage contact coagulation suitable in laparoscopic and delicate tissue work

Adaptive REM™: REM™ trip is baseline impedance plus 40%. For example, if the baseline impedance is 30 ohms, the upper level trip approximately 42 ohms. If the pad-patient impedance falls below the baseline impedance, a new baseline is established.
